The Antiquities Act Of 1906: The Public Response To The Use Of Presidential Power In Managing Public Lands, Barbara L. Grover Apr 1998

The Antiquities Act Of 1906: The Public Response To The Use Of Presidential Power In Managing Public Lands, Barbara L. Grover

Dissertations and Theses

President Clinton created Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument on September 17, 1996. The Antiquities Act of 1906 gives the president power to establish national monuments on public lands through presidential proclamation. The Act has been used to create national monuments in places such as Muir Woods, Grand Canyon, Mount Olympus, Jackson Hole, and the 1978 Alaskan d-2 lands. Its use has also produced negative public response, manifested as demonstrations, lawsuits, and congressional bills.

In spite of significant legal and legislative challenges, the Antiquities Act and most of the monuments established through its use remain. The negative public response to the Act …


The Forest Service, Water Yield, And Community Stability: Defining The Contours Of An Agency Commitment To Include Land Grant Communities In The Timber Management Process, Brett Olsen Apr 1998

The Forest Service, Water Yield, And Community Stability: Defining The Contours Of An Agency Commitment To Include Land Grant Communities In The Timber Management Process, Brett Olsen

Student Thesis Honors (1996-2008)

John Wesley Powell\'s 1878 Report on the Lands of the Arid Region of the United States and later Irrigation Surveys proposed a settlement pattern based upon watersheds or "hydrographic basins." Powell\'s plan died ingloriously in the Senate Committee on Irrigation. Profligate overgrazing and logging in the West\'s forested uplands would force the federal reservation of the National Forests under the Organic Administrative Act of 1897. The Act directed the management of reserved, upland watersheds for the twin purposes of "securing favorable conditions of water flows, and to furnish a continuous supply of timber for the ... citizens of the United …

A Suggested Preschool Program For The Woodstown-Pilesgrove Regional School District, Dawn Schollenberger Apr 1998

A Suggested Preschool Program For The Woodstown-Pilesgrove Regional School District, Dawn Schollenberger

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to suggest a type of preschool curriculum that would be effective for the Woodstown-Pilesgrove School District. This was accomplished in various stages. First, library research was conducted at EIRC and the Rowan University Library to find recent literature on the various types of preschool curriculums. Then, because the needs of the community should be considered when designing a public preschool curriculum, an informal survey was designed to solicit the opinions of present and past kindergarten teachers in the Woodstown-Pilesgrove School District. The results of this narrative survey were used to design the major components …

Molecular Phylogenetics Of Arvicoline Rodents, Christopher John Conroy Apr 1998

Molecular Phylogenetics Of Arvicoline Rodents, Christopher John Conroy

Biological Sciences

The impetus for this dissertation was an interest in geographic variation in Microtus longicaudus with a particular focus on populations in the Alexander Archipelago of southeastern Alaska. To establish a framework for interpreting intraspecific variation in M. longicaudus, I examined the phylogenetics of 28 species of the genus Microtus, including all North American species (Chapters 2 and 4). That study, which corroborates a rapid pulse of diversification noted in the fossil record, necessitated a deeper phylogenetic perspective. Thus, a third objective of the dissertation was to investigate relationships among genera of arvicolines within the framework of other murid rodents. I …

Historical Archaeology Of Alaskan Placer Gold Mining Settlements: Evaluating Process-Pattern Relationships, Robin Owen Mills Apr 1998

Historical Archaeology Of Alaskan Placer Gold Mining Settlements: Evaluating Process-Pattern Relationships, Robin Owen Mills

Anthropology

The objective of this research is to explicate appropriate methods for investigating relationships between past historical processes and variables, and resulting contemporary patterns in archaeological and historical data sets. Turn-of-the-twentieth century placer gold mining in interior Alaska is used as a case study to evaluate these relationships. By linking observable patterns in historical data sets with the variables and processes that in part create and shape them, a more-complete, context-specific explanation of past events and actions emerges when the data are evaluated in specific historical settings. The methodological approach used here is to just formulate explicit "expectations," and then to …

Mapping Impacts Of Education For Wilderness Management Planning, Frederick Anthony Foster Apr 1998

Mapping Impacts Of Education For Wilderness Management Planning, Frederick Anthony Foster

Theses (Unassigned)

Wilderness education is considered a key response to abate physical impacts caused by wilderness recreationists, but education's impacts upon the psychological values of wilderness are unknown. This investigation used a wilderness purism scale to measure how minimum impact instruction affects the intensity and quality of a student's wilderness experience and the relation of these expectations and preferences to appreciation, knowledge, and concern for the environment as a whole, i.e., environmental literacy. A wilderness purism scale, a spatial scale, and wilderness management scale measured how wilderness education affects recreationists' limits of unacceptability in wilderness conditions. Effects of wilderness education on multiple …


Seismic Investigations Of Subsurface Volcanic Structures And Processes At Mount Spurr, Alaska And Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat, West Indies, John A. Power Apr 1998

Seismic Investigations Of Subsurface Volcanic Structures And Processes At Mount Spurr, Alaska And Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat, West Indies, John A. Power

Theses (Unassigned)

Seismological techniques are used to infer the subsurface structures and volcanic processes at two recently active volcanoes: Mount Spurr, Alaska, and Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat, West Indies. The three-dimensional P-wave velocity structure of Mount Spurr is determined to depths of 10 km by tomographic inversion of 3,754 P-wave arrival times from local earthquakes. Results show a prominent low-velocity zone beneath the southeast flank of Crater Peak extending from the surface to 3--4 km below sea level, spatially coincident with an active geothermal system. Beneath Crater Peak an approximately 3-km-wide zone of relatively low velocities correlates with a near vertical band …


Assessment Of Rural Character Of The Kenai Peninsula, Jack Kruse, Virgene Hanna Apr 1998

Assessment Of Rural Character Of The Kenai Peninsula, Jack Kruse, Virgene Hanna

ISER Reports

On January 3, 1991, over the objections of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe (see letter of December 19th, 1990), the Federal Subsistence Board declared an area encompassing the communities of Anchor Point, Clam Gulch, Cohoe, Crown Point ,Happy Valley, Homer city, Kalifonsky, Kasilof, Kenai city, Moose Pass, Nikiski, Primrose, Salamatof, Seward city, Soldotna city, and Sterling to be non-rural (see Map 1). This decision affects two-thirds of the population of the Kenai Peninsula (65 percent in 1990). Under this decision, over 26,000 residents of the Kenai Peninsula do not benefit from subsistence preferences which still apply to approximately 98 percent of …
